Why are hmong people so lazy?

As a Hmong girl myself I grew up Hmong with a Hmong family.

I grew up thinking I was the only person to give a crap about my grades, I worked hard every night, studying and reading and eventually I got my grades up to the maximum which I was proud for.
My cousins in Cali don’t really do anything with their lives. Most of them are just sitting on the couch watching TV or spending all their time cooped in a room playing league of legends or other video games.

What pisses me off is that they have no education and don’t even work, this means that my grandmother just has to work more to support people who have the ability to work but choose not too.

I am furious that my family consistently sways a healthy life style, they choose not to cook our cultures food which is particularly healthy to be speaking. Instead they replace it with McDonald’s and unhealthy junk food which is why most of them are overweight and they constantly say “oh I’m trying to lose weight” but in the end they just result to McDonald’s and unhealthy food. Because of this it is hard to try to stay healthy and I end up eating salads at school because my family won’t get me something other then junkfood.

I feel so frustrated about this, I feel like I’m the only one in my family who gets good grades and study’s hard! I feel like I’m the only one who tries to stay slim and fit, and I sometimes think I’m the only one with common knowledge, my family’s always to lazy to sweep themselves off their feet.

Why isn’t my Hmong family like any other asian family? Parents that force good grades on your, parents that smile at you when you get an A on your test.

Jeesh I kind of even want to be forced to get good grades if it means that I won’t end up with my face at my computer screen playing league of legends.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Not strictly a Hmong problem. People in the U.S. are fat, stupid, and lazy. Of course I'm generalizing. I love this country but to many people just like to complain and be losers than do anything to change their situation. Good for you for taking some initiative.

        "We used to stacks fucks like you five high in Korea. Use em for body bags. Now get the fuck off my lawn or I'll shoot you in the face and go inside and sleep like a baby."

        My favorite Eastwood line from that movie.

            I have one. It's an antique in good condition. My grandfather left it to me. Would have rather gotten a "72" Gran Torino but he wasn't into muscle cars.

    We all have choices.
    America allows you the freedom to be a fat lazy loser.
    If that's your choice.
    Or
    You can do something with your life.

    I hear what you're saying but you don't want to be forced by your parents to get good grades either though. Feeling like you can never please them, never feeling good enough, always thinking that you'll have higher self-esteem if you get a A in the test but only feeling nothing after it. That's no way to live.

    Because that's who they are. Imagine them as one of the seven deadly sins. They're either Sloth or Gluttony whilst you're Pride, Greed or Wrath.
